There’s no question about the depth of the Kronos 2. The original question is a matter of timing. No one likes to spend a hundreds or thousands of dollars on something only to find out a short time later, that a new and improved version is available. I went through this with the Numa Compact 2. Only a few months after the Compact 2 finally showed up in stores, they showed the 2X at the NAMM show. It pissed me off. This is happening in the auto world right now in sales of Corvettes. More than a year ago, strong rumors emerged that Corvette was going mid-engine in the next generation. In October 2017, a year ago, prototypes of a GM mid engine car started being seen and photographed testing on roads. Not surprisingly, sales of the current Corvette model have dropped substantially. Considering the age of the Kronos 2, and how often there is turnaround in the keyboard industry, it’s very reasonable for the OP to wonder if it’s better to wait. Does Korg have any incentive to replace the Kronos if it’s still selling well? If It slipped out that Korg is replacing Kronos soon, it would probably depress sales of the current model. So, are sales of Kronos 2 going up, going down, or staying somewhat level?

The problem is that no one is able to answer, except perhaps some Korg workers.
So, when one is buying a Kronos today, he knows that it takes a risk to see a new keyboard in the following months, more powerful and perhaps less expensive._________________Kronos 2 73, Studiologic Sledge 2, Yamaha P90, Soundcraft EFX12, JBL LSR308

I have the power to make Korg produce a successor to the Kronos. Furthermore I can make sure that it will have so many amazing features, sound engines, polyphony, and expandability, that it will make even the most die hard Kronos 2 fans gasp in disbelief. But more succinctly, I can cause it to have every feature I could want in a keyboard.
